     b. Is military service voluntary (by choice) or involuntary (required)?
     c. Why do you think that is?

3.  a.  What percent of your country's GDP does your country spend on its military? 
     b. What is your countries GDP? [Use the tab to locate economy, find GDP (purchasing power parity)]
     c.  Calculate the price the government pays for the military.  (If you want to use a calculator, you may.  You can also use this percentage calculator (http://www.csgnetwork.com/csgpercent.html).

    Males are actually forced to serve but then they have to option to serve earlier and longer then they have to. (Only males are forced to serve, females have the option to serve.)
    Why? Because males have to serve from when their 18 until their 21 but females and males have the option to serve from when their 16 to 49.

    Must be 17-30 years of age for voluntary service. I think that the service there is voluntary because the country is free and without a dictator.
    The county uses 4.04% of it's GDP. The country's GDP is $42.95,000,000,000! The amount of money they use is $1.7,000,000,000.
